What a great site Stef (SmilynStef) selected for today's Inspiration Challenge. There are so many gorgeous items on the site from which to draw inspiration. Great selection, Stef!
This charm is the inspiration piece I selected. I love the raspberry color of the charm; therefore, I wanted a raspberry color for my first panel (i.e., background) on the card. I used SU Rose Red and Pixie Pink inks and sponged them on a piece of Solar White card stock. I sponged and sponged the inks on the panel and still didn't get the deep raspberry I wanted. I guess I used the wrong colors. Regardless, I'm happy with it.
My card is a shaker card that features the Taylored Expressions Floating Hearts Cutting Plate. I used the plate to cut out a silver foil floating hearts panel. I wanted three of the hearts to form the "shaker" portion of the card. But I also wanted sequins for every heart. Therefore, I laid the foil panel over the raspberry panel and carefully adhered sequins to each heart area. Then I laid several sequins in the areas of the three hearts I chose for the "shaker" portion.
Now the fun part! It was time to add the silver foil panel onto the raspberry panel. How exciting that was trying to get slivers of foam tape around the hearts! But I managed. I added "I love you" as the sentiment that is attached to a flag that was added at the bottom.
BTW, if anyone wants to provide me a Valentine gift, that charm I selected would be must appreciated!! LOL
Thanks for viewing and commenting!
